# School Closure - 30th Jan

Dear Parents and Carers,

**School Closure – Friday 30 January 2026**

****All school transport in Dorset has been cancelled on Friday because of forecast heavy rain.**

****The Forum Centre will therefore be closed for students on this day.****

To support learning during the closure, work will be provided online using **Microsoft Teams**.

Please note:
➡️ **This is not live online teaching**
➡️ Work will be set for students to complete independently.

**How your child can access their work**

We have created a Microsoft Teams space called **“TFC Online”**.

- Each class has its **own channel** within TFC Online
- Teachers will post:

    - Work instructions
    - Worksheets or documents
    - Tasks to be completed during the closure

---

**Step-by-step guide for students**

1. **Log in to Microsoft Teams**

    - Visit: https://www.microsoft.com/teams
    - Or open the **Microsoft Teams app** on a laptop, tablet, or phone
2. **Sign in using your child’s school email and password**

    Your child’s school email address always follows this format:
     **first initial.full surname@tfc.dorset.sch.uk**

    Example:
     **a.fergani@tfc.dorset.sch.uk**
3. Select the Team called **“TFC Online”**
4. Click on the **channel for your child’s class**
5. Read the teacher’s post and complete the work set

**If you do not know your child’s login details**

- **If you are unsure of your child’s email address**
     Use the format shown above (first initial, full surname).
- **If you do not know or have forgotten the password**
     Please request a password reset by emailing:
     **Adam – a.fergani@tfc.dorset.sch.uk**

**Important reminders**

- Students should complete the work **to the best of their ability**
- Work may be completed digitally or on paper, depending on the task
- Teachers will follow up on the work when students return to school

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We will provide further updates if required.

Kind regards,
